The executioner had mixed feelings about the school, made all the more dubious when he was handed a rather official looking letter which contained a picture, and . . . a rather snappish pin that nipped at his fingers. For all intents and purposes he felt like he'd just gotten a contract to go kill someone.
Ah, if only. Mercenary work would have at least given him something more to do.
The campus wasn't far from the Lost Clans, yet even so Shik disliked flying the distance. Last time he'd come, he had been harassed into getting a so-called appreciation basket, and the time before had been llamas. And while the student who had given him his argot had helpfully given directions to the reaper dorms, Shik didn't want to plant himself so close to the building. Above the tree tops he flew a fist clamped on the rather lively pin to keep it from snapping so much as he eyeballed the land below for a certain one-eyed reaper.

Shun knew with the game in play, he was going to need to watch his back. However, it never quite occurred to him that he might need to watch the skies. He personally only knew a handful of students capable of flight after all, and he wasn't aware that the horsemen were in on this too. Right now, the reaper was out in the open, practicing. The past couple of days told him that he needed to train more, so that was exactly what he was doing. His daggers were out as he struck the air swiftly. Besides, in doing this, he was able to kind of be a little more aware of his surroundings. Except maybe up.

Five minutes flying. Ten minutes. Fifteen. He began to descend a little lower in case he might have missed the target. Not that there was any assumption the reaper had to be outside at this time: Amityville had enough buildings about that he could possibly have to spend a good hour or - there.
Shik took a few seconds to make sure this was correct before diving, uncaring that a growing shadow heralded his arrival. Executioners were meant for swift kills, not sneaking.

While he wasn't looking up, Shun soon noticed that there was a growing shadow approaching him. That heralded him to look upwards, where he noticed a large horseman diving right at him. His eyes widened for the moment before he dove out of the way. As he came out of his roll, he launched one of his daggers at his would be assailant. Considering he only had one eye now, his aim wasn't too bad. However, he still needed to work on it for sure. HP: 15 Damage: 2

Shik turned his body to avoid a direct hit on his wings, though the dagger slid down his thigh in passing regardless; strange, it looked somewhat similar to his. Kid had decent aim despite the patch . . . He'd have to keep that in mind.
With a forceful flap he checked his momentum and turned to face the reaper, throwing out his own dagger in retaliation as he landed. In his other hand the pin opened and closed its mouth, thirsting for blood. Or fabric. Either or.HP: 13 Damage: 2 for HERP ROLL

There was a glint of light that caught Shun's eye. He started to get out of the way, but couldn't completely avoid the blow. The blade grazed against his left arm as he moved to the side. The reaper now saw the pin that was in the horseman's hand, which explained the assault well enough. Judging his clothing, it was a war horseman... which was a little odd. Shun could barely recall any males on the island during the week he had been there. This must have been one of the very few. Gripping onto his other dagger, he took a step back and crouched down, watching to see what the horseman would do next. HP: 13 Damage: 0

"You have a good eye, nicking me even when surprised like that."
That might or might not have been a badly timed pun, but Shik sounded sincere in his compliment. With a flick of the wrist his kris dagger was brought back in hand, and the horseman leapt forward with the aid of his wings to bring the fight closer to his target, testing the reaper's close-range capabilities.HP: 13 Damage: 2

"I've been training."It was all he had to say on that. And it was true too. Ever since he lost his eye, Shun had been working on make up for his newfound disability. Narrowing his eye, he recalled his second dagger while the horseman advanced in on him. The reaper managed to avoid a heavy blow, but received another small cut. In turn, he shifted to the side and slashed out with one of his blades. Quite frankly he wasn't sure what to expect of his skirmish. He had sparred a few of the war horsemen on their grounds in a different manner. Using their staves and whatnot. In the last actual horseman spar he had been in, it was against Invictus. Who had defeated him rather soundly. HP: 11 Damage: 3

Two daggers, was it? He probably should have assumed as much from the strange pin he'd received. Said pin snapped and writhed in the horseman's hand, an untimely nuisance as the reaper came in for the slice. He brought his arm up to take the hit, trying to get the accursed pin to stick to the reaper's clothes with little luck.
"There is a place to train here?" Shik asked, being so unenthused about whatever laid on campus that this was the first he'd heard of it.

"Several. Technically. The gym is there for students to fight one another. Any open area is suitable for training alone. And then there is a certain place where one might run into Hunters." Shun quickly pulled his arm back as the horseman tried to snip him with the pin. As he did this, he ducked down and attempted to sweep his legs from under him. If he could reduce his mobility, he may be able to come away from this scuffle without getting taken out. HP: 11 Damage: 1 Ol-J-Man Sorry for requote - just realized had wrong hp

Curiosity turned to an intense frown at the mention of Hunters. "There is a portal?" Shik asked, unsure whether to be pleased that he could locate one of the damn things to kill so close to home, or be wary of the fact that the Hunters had known access to the campus and thus could theoretically invade in droves beneath their noses.
Unfortunately Shik was of a rather leggy build which, while it had its positives, did not help much when it came to sweeps so close up. The second Shun's foot cut between one leg and the ground, the instinct to stay up kicked in - a large flap of his wings sent the executioner backwards in the air before he was completely off balance, rebuffing the reaper with a small gust.
"Tell me everything you know," he said as he landed, dagger held sideways before him.HP: 9 Damage: 2

Shun was blasted back from the sudden strong gust of wind. But he was back to his feet pretty quickly. There, he stared down the horseman for a moment or so. "Not quite a portal. A special area that seems to be some sort of middle ground between this world and theirs. Finding it is not easy," he stated. "Unless you look hard enough it that is."HP: 9 Damage: 0

"Middle ground?"
Why, by the bolts of Jupiter . . . Nothing in Halloween made sense to him: hordes of alpacas running loose, students clearly younger than him who were nevertheless still stronger, and now said students sitting atop a possible route that could lead them to Hunters, maybe even their lair if they looked hard enough.
"And how do you find this portal?" Shik prompted.HP: 9 Damage: 0

"A sort of no man's land or so to speak," Shun replied before eyeing the horseman carefully. "I just told you how to find it. It shows up randomly. With a strong enough will, you may find yourself at the old house," he said. Why was he telling him all of this? Well, he was well aware of the horseman situation. Most likely they were looking for some revenge. He was not going to deny the hunters a little extra grief. Narrowing his eye, he suddenly shadowstepped to his opponent's side, where he lashed out with his blades. Perhaps he should have saved that skill for an escape, but the opportunity presented itself to take the offensive instead. HP: 9 Damage: 4
